From Liz Berry
Martin Greenwood's nice juxtaposition of the Latin for “year” with the fundament (Letters, 16 January) reminded me of the father who received a letter from his son's private school, informing him that fees had risen by £500 per annum.
Unfortunately, someone had typed “per anum”. The father wrote back saying he would rather pay through the nose, as usual.
